Customer reviews of 1001hobbies

I left many messages to customer service, asking you to change the delivery address because I was moving. Finally I contacted an operator to do it and she told me that everything was ok, that she had changed the address. It was a lie because it was still delivered to my old address and I had to call in favors to have it delivered to the new tenants.

I give this site only 2 stars because I had ordered 7 models, but I only received 6, the B-29 superfortresses scale 1/48 from revell I did not receive in the package. Then I sent another mail but I have not had a reply back ! So I don't know where this m9del construction box has gone ! The package itself was undamaged though and all the model kits were tip top in order. The package was also delivered very fast.

Late arrival of order, numbers on pots of paint not readable, were taped over with Stokkers

The site gives the impression that it is UK based, both with the web address and stock advertised in sterling. It also offers free shipping. However the goods are despatched from France and that opens up an unexpected can of worms with import duty etc. The result is that the items cost an extra £78! None of this was made clear at purchase.

No opinion ..up to now I've always been satisfied but this time a box of horsemen figurines was missing .

The car was used and the packaging was broken.

Parcel arrived in very poor condition.

Hello Team 1001 hobbies It took me almost a month to receive my order. That is no longer up to date. With Amazon I would have received it within two days.
Best regards Arnold

Wrong information with the article on the site so I couldn't do anything with it, and the previous order was damaged. Get a refund of 10€ while the article cost over 30€...2 out of 4 were still broken. Still order something again, wrong info was on it.... 1st couple of orders went well but now they have dropped out anyway. Screwed up 2x in a row. I will order elsewhere from now on.

When I placed my first order, everything went smoothly. But for this parts order on September 25 and 30 (parts available within 1 week) after 15/20 days still no shipment. I learned on October 16 that the parts had not been ordered from the supplier... in the end I had to wait almost 1 month for 3 references available within 1 week. The last reference was missing, and without any delay, I asked for a refund on this part and for the other 2 references to be shipped. Even for the cancellation, refund and shipment, I had to call them 3 times, raising the tone on the last call to get everything done... disappointed, unfortunately, for this major problem.

Foreign-language instructions without translation and gift-wrapping charges invoiced but not requested.

I'm not happy with the order it's a misleading article

Almost 3 weeks to receive paints that are reported in stock, I find this very average. With for only information, an email, each week which informs me that my order was not yet prepared... and to finish no sign of the customer service, nor any compensation...

bonjour je ne pensais pas que le pot de peinture serait miniature erreur de ma part

The item was bought on Sept 12th but only arrived on Oct 25th and only after 2 emails and a message on Instagram dm. I bought it to give as a birthday gift and it arrived after the date. Definitely will never buy in the store again and will not recommend it.

I order paints with references and when I receive them there are no references on the pots.

Apart from the fact that the parcel arrived in a sorry state (crushed cardboard), even though I'd expected careful packaging after a 17-day wait, a "maquette", strangely offered without a photo (which struck me as suspicious and warranted a phone call), the so-called "maquette" of the Iliouchine Il-76 is very disconcerting: there's no box, the parts are very rough, non-individualized mouldings in the "rough" style, with no interlocking system, and in rather soft plastic, so difficult to work with! So I don't know if I could do anything with them, despite 35 years' experience in model making; they weren't worth €150! I'd have liked to add some photos to the commentary, that would be more eloquent.

Lots of hassle and no updates on order

There have been errors in the last two orders I have placed, I have emailed two différant depts to get resolved and have not even had a response to any emails, very disappointing, won’t use again which is a shame as the range and price is very good but they don’t get orders right and don’t respond or try to resolve,

Poor service.

the site does not provide good information for non French residents and i had not been informed of the unacceptable delay of forwarding (although through an expensive express provider : more than 3 weeks for Dubai !!! (still pending)

the canisters arrived half dry. less than half of them

Good product

Lots of choice but clunky site, long shipping times and unclear communication

Delivery time not respected.

There's no French translation, so it's unusable. Despite my e-mail, no response.
Too bad

part in stock on the site with a lead time of 2 to 4 weeks (order placed in August, staff on vacation, understandable), problem, the part is in stock, but with the supplier who...is in England. order received at the end of September, beyond the expected lead time, I understand that 1001 hobbies is dependent on its supplier and English customs, but not to display product in stock.
I would like to thank the person I spoke to on the phone, who gave me an explanation and made a commercial gesture, and who was also waiting for his orders (taken "hostage" by British customs/ long live Brexit. Sincerely

Postage more expensive than item

Legitimate product, but delivery very delayed (2 weeks late), and no answer to my question.

Yours is the MOST confusing hobby site I've ever visited. It just POORLY organized. THERE IS NO LOGICAL METHOD WHEN IDENTIFYING A PRODUCT.

I have not received a refund for the product paid for and not received, only a credit note! Does this mean that I have to purchase again?

Received in over 2 weeks although everything was in stock. Disappointing first order.

accepts orders without stock.

I waited more than a month for a piece that I needed and bought more things to get free shipping. in the end they told me that they don't have them and they won't have them anymore. I got pieces that were not important for me, but in the invoice there were also things that I didn't get.in the end a lot of waiting, they sell something that they do not have, they invoice things that they do not send you, and all that waiting more than a month, I ordered everything in another store in poland, super hobby, and it arrived in 4 days, I give 2 stars for having someone in customer service department who spoke in Castilian if you can not speak French, that the store is in France.

Packaging not complete with the necessary coloring as described in the product presentation

Perfect delivery, but the product is not very efficient and fragile. I would not use it again.

Wrong driver and 1 parcel missing

There's a banner on the site informing us of delivery times of 24 to 48 hours. For just under 9 euros I was delivered after 14 days. When I asked about the tracking of my order, which was supposed to contain only in-stock items, the reply I received simply informed me that preparation had been delayed and that my order would be prepared quickly. In the end, I received my order with one item less, obviously no longer in stock at the time of preparation. I therefore have a credit note valid on a merchant site that I don't really want to order from any more.

The product arrived 15 days later than the originally agreed-upon delivery date. Unfortunately, they didn't proactively notify me about the delay or offer an alternative solution. I had to initiate contact with them to inquire about the reason for the delay, and their responses were consistently vague. The items I purchased were intended as a birthday gift for a family member, but I was unable to give them on time due to this delay.
